The history of the Earthcheck research institute

In June 2010, the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre (STCRC), the world’s largest research centre in sustainable tourism, completed its formal agreement with the Australian Commonwealth Government and evolved into two international legacy projects: the not-for-profit EarthCheck Research Institute (ERI) and the APEC International Centre for Sustainable Tourism.
